Article creator removed PROD template without addressing the issues.

Concern:

  • Very small operator, one aircraft, no scheduled routes.
  • Önly started operating in 2008
  • Possibly fails at WP:CORP because the article is also unreferenced and does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about this aircraft operator should be included in an encyclopedia.
  • Ghits only provide directory entries Kudpung (talk) 12:42, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

  • Delete - Non-notable; very minor airline and no coverage in reliable sources (I've checked for Swedish ones). Theleftorium (talk) 09:24, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep per the sources found using the "Tor Air" name. In addition to those currently used in the article, there's [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/iraq/article7112354.ece], [http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/breaking-news/world/baghdad-to-london-flights-resume-14782070.html], [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article7108907.ece#cid=OTC-RSS&attr=797093], and [http://www.upi.com/Top_News/Special/2010/04/27/London-return-of-Iraqi-Airways-renews-row/UPI-22101272379652/].

  • Keep - Operator has an ICAO code and callsign and although it only has one aircraft (a Boeing 737 airliner) makes it worth keeping. Only started in 2008 is not a bar at having an article. Doesnt operate scheduled services because it is a charter operator. I have added some info from the Flight airlines directory so article is now referenced. Really just a stub that needs more work. And probably needs moving to Tor Air if article is kept. MilborneOne (talk) 19:28, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep, the size of the fleet does not matter; that it operates on behalf of other airlines and has no routes of its own does not matter; that it started operating in 2008 does not matter. I had no trouble in finding non-directory Ghits, and have added some more info to the article; sufficient to establish notability IMO. The name is incorrect and the article does require renaming if kept. YSSYguy (talk) 14:04, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
